On Friday, President Donald Trump made hay on the United Kingdom's earlier concession to allow the United States to use their bases on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia and their domestic field at RAF Fairford for strikes against Iran. The president, in essence, told Iran that they'd better hunker down, because more stealth bombers are deploying, and what's left of the regime is in for a very unpleasant time. As the president put it, the big one is coming.
An arsenal of US stealth bombers is expected to soon reach UK military bases as President Trump warned Iran that “the big one” could be imminent.
American B-2 stealth bombers were slated to land at air bases at Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire after the British government initially rejected the Trump administration’s request to carry out strikes from the bases, according to reports.
But Prime Minister Keir Starmer later reversed course, allowing the US fleet to use UK runways within “a matter of days,” the Telegraph reported Wednesday.
What convinced the British Prime Minister to change his mind? Perhaps it was Iran's starting to just indiscriminately chuck ordnance around the Middle East, and in so doing, turning every other nation in the region against them? Or maybe PM Starmer just had a sudden rush of brains to the head and realized that a world without the Iranian theocracy in it would be a vastly better place, and that it's not like the United States was actually asking them to deploy men and aircraft. All the USA needs is runways.
The big one, as the late Fred Sanford might have said, is coming.
“We haven’t even started hitting them hard,” Trump said. “The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.”
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also said Thursday that firepower over Tehran was “about to surge dramatically” with the help of the UK bases, the Telegraph reported.
“When we say more to come, it’s more fighter squadrons, it’s more capabilities, it’s more defensive capabilities,” he said. “And it’s more bomber pulses more frequently.”
More bombers would be good, but deploying more fighters is an interesting move. The Secretary of War didn't specify exactly what additional aircraft would be deployed (nor should he), but several of our fighter aircraft, like the F-16 and F-15E, are very good at air-to-sand operations as well as air superiority, which we have already achieved.
Earlier today, my colleague Rusty Weiss reported President Trump's statement echoing the American stance in the World War 2 Pacific campaign, that the only surrender that would be accepted would be unconditional.

Israel isn't waiting around, either.
Meanwhile, Israeli military chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said in a televised statement Friday that the joint US-Israeli bombing campaign has “additional surprises ahead which I do not intend to disclose.”
What's left of the regime would be well advised to lay in a good supply of bandages and iodine.
Candidly, this is what should have been done with the Iranian theocracy (thugocracy is probably more accurate) at the very start. These barbarians have been spreading misery and death around the Middle East and even farther abroad for 47 years now, and it's about time someone went in and took them off the map. It's to the point now where what's left of the regime is lashing out seemingly at random, which doesn't bode well for them.

Things for Iran have been bad. American and Israeli airpower have been dismantling the regime with the suitable application of high explosives. The leadership of the USA and Israel shows no inclination to back off, and that's good. Iran has had this coming for a long time, now, and while the civilized world should never decide to deploy military assets lightly, when we do, we should come down on the bad guys like a thousand of brick, and that's what we're doing now—and President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu seem to be united in accepting no surrender but unconditional.
The mullahs' days are drawing to a close, and it's about damn time.
Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
